innerslytherinLEFT IN A BASKET ON THE STEPS OF THE FBI!!!!!!! Oh, the Reid/Rossi love, it overwhelms.
Dave and Derek spent a lot of time floundering in this case. They were doing the best they could, I guess, but honestly, I was not excited about those interrogations until the Unsub called Derek "boy". Then it was fun watching the shit hit the fan. But I have to say...serial killers make the best profilers, and I do think the Unsub was onto something when he said Derek had something to prove. There's a big reason why Derek ended up where he is, and of course we all know it's Carl Buford. And Derek's final rant, telling the Unsub to "Be a man, for God's sake, be a father!" had some deep-seated roots in Derek's past with Carl and the way he lost his own dad.
Of course, Derek was lying when he said he didn't know what it was like to be in love with another man, and we all know that, too. *G* I mean, the way he leans over Reid at the computer in this very episode, hello, Obvious! :D
I love Hotch. The quiet way he calmed the wife when she hit her husband, the way he was in control and compassionate.
And I liked the way the episode started, in media res. Of course, given the time they later spent filling ineffectuatally in the interrogation room...that might have been a mistake.
However, the show did provide some lovely dramatic lighting on Rossi, and this lovely conversation:

Date: 2009-01-15 05:09 am (UTC)This episode was all about epic man-love. I think that it's appropriate that all of the character interactions were between same-sex characters (with the exception of Hotch and Prentiss, and there is NO LOOKING INTO THAT OMG). Seriously, there was Morgan/Reid, Rossi/Reid, Morgan/Rossi, UnSub/Morgan, Prentiss/Daughter, Reid/BAU, etc. IT WAS BARELY EVEN SUBTEXT!

"And the one who shall save the nation and lead them out of captivity shall come to the FBI with a basket. Or IN a basket. Er, the prophecy was a little hard to translate."

Date: 2009-01-15 10:30 pm (UTC)Left in a basket and Morgan's claim about never being in love did make me laugh. I'm not particularly a Morgan/Reid shipper, but I did giggle and think "liar".
